[Spridgets] OT - A paradigm shift for engines?

[Dave KK7SS]

Depending which way you look at it, this engine is either very wide but short, or it's very short but wide.

I was trying to visualize this engine in a conventional front engined car.

It would probably go nicely in a rear wheel drive application - engine would be transverse just in front or behind the front wheels, making for a short, mini/micro-style, car.

But for front wheel drive  the engine would probably fitted longitudinally and be a significant component of the cars length - unless you used a right angle drive system.

For a 'normal' 2-stroke, primary compression occurs in the crankcase, secondary occurs in the combustion chamber. I wonder how they're getting their compression. I also thought I heard him say it was a diesel application..  couldn't see/hear any reference to plugs..

But what an interesting concept..!
